1/. Today marks 3 years since the govt INSTRUCTED hospitals to send people “who may have #COVID19” to care homes WITHOUT TESTING
The govt KNEW about asymptomatic transmission in Jan/Feb 2020
Tens of thousands died
Which minister signed this off…& why?

3/. The evidence of a parallel UK/US #COVID19 strategy was striking, but it was circumstantial
👉an unscientific herd immunity strategy
👉soaring death rates
👉ignoring WHO warnings
👉delayed lockdown
👉lack of PPE etc
Then details of parallel contracts with Palantir came out👇

For me, my investigation began by chance on 8/3/20 when I stumbled on @BorisJohnson’s interview with @Schofe & @hollywills where he said “one theory is we could #TakeItOnTheChin”
I clipped it & it went viral
Ironically, this was also the same day as first Briton died of #COVID

As #COVID19 hit, every epidemiologist/virologist made clear #HerdImmunity without a vaccine was an “outcome” not a “strategy”
Every behaviourist made clear “behavioural fatigue” was unscientific
Every expert knew about asymptomatic spread in Feb 2020

The truth has been in plain sight from the start
We didn’t need #Cummings to tell us
Indeed, @Dominic2306 ‘revelations’ raised far more questions than answers
It was clear that #HerdImmunity was the strategy & they didn’t “pivot away” from it

SAGE minutes on 28 January 2020 state that early indications suggest there was asymptomatic spread.

2/. But #Cummings’ thread raises more questions than it answers
We KNEW #HerdImmunity was the strategy & the govt didn’t “pivot away” from it
In Feb, @Dominic2306 rprtdly said the strategy was “herd immunity to protect the economy & if that means some pensioners die, too bad."

Whilst I may have “broken” dozens of #COVID19 scandals, I no more “discovered” them than Cook discovered Australia
But by asking WHY these scandals happened, I did make a BIG discovery.

Asked whether he believes one "can derive the ethics from the science" he avoids answering
Perhaps he’s aware that discussions of genomics can easily slip into the subject of eugenics.
